An Israeli cabinet minister said on Sunday that the US sale of advanced F-35 warplanes to Qatar could be possible despite Israel’s objections to such a deal. These misgivings are in light of sthe Gulf state’s links to Iran and Palestinian Hamas. “I have no doubt that if they (Qatar) want it and are willing to pay, sooner or later they will get it,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, who sits in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet, told Ynet TV. “This is a supposition that we must take into account,” he said, arguing that the US administration “ultimately looks out for American interests,” especially in the face of rival stealth jets on offer from Russia and China.
